    Looks fine to me. If your that worried then when you get it just go over the frame and paint the areas. Then FF it. I don't see an issue.

    Sad to report back we couldn't agree on a price that made sense for us both.

    Looks fine, the threads and such rust because they have no plating or paint. Go buy a couple cans of LPS 3 and coat anything rusting under the vehicle, excellent corrosion resistance, seems to last longer then most other similar products. Been using it since the late 90s, I think they reformulated it recently, doesn't flow as well when applied unfortunately, only and issue when I use it inside door skins.

    FWIW, I know the deal fell through but it's good advice for anything else you might buy.
